Time has passed, and the three-outta’-four bug is past me now. Sometimes a little wake-up call is all that we need, and after the dreaded bad beat, I will have my E-Z Win Forms next to my side. Be sure to look over the weather, as showers can pop up at any time during the summertime heat. Best of luck, and let’s take this wager down. When you have $500,000 up for grabs every weekend you can be rest assured that many players will have this on their radar screen. With a sizable pool every Saturday, it just gives you one more reason to the love the Spa.

Race #8 – Mdn $20,000 – 7f – 5:00 p.m. ET

#14 – Burned Bridges (4-1) = Jose Lezcano for trainer Ron Moquette. If the rains come then this son of Bernardini should hold his own.

#13 – Distinct Humor (9-2) = John Velasquez for Todd Pletcher. They do awfully good work as a team.

#12 – Marine (5-1) = J.J. Castellano for Mike Maker. Drops in class, and was a beaten favorite last out.

Race #9 – Claiming $20,000 – 7f – 5:34 p.m. ET

#7 – Casper’s Touch (10-1) = Joel Rosario for Michelle Nihei. She wins 27% with second timers to her barn.

#4 – Overcommunication (8-5) = John Velasquez in the irons for Todd Pletcher. They are winning at a 50% clip at the Spa.
